Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Women's Marizion Baffled Gilet is designed for adult women seeking a sporty, warm, and water-repellent layering piece for everyday wear. Its key benefit is providing cozy insulation without bulk, thanks to its down-free fill, while repelling light rain. A potential caveat is that it's primarily for light rainfall and may not be sufficient for heavy downpours. The gilet features a lightweight polyamide fabric, a sustainable Feather Free insulation, a polyamide lining, and two zippered lower pockets.

FAQs
What is the insulation made from?
The insulation is made from 100% recycled, high-quality synthetic down, referred to as 'Feather Free' by Regatta.
Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?
No, the gilet has a water-repellent finish that is effective against light rainfall. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer layer.
How should I wash the gilet?
You can machine wash the gilet at 40°C. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
What does 'baffled' mean in the product name?
Baffled refers to the construction method where sewn-through channels (baffles) hold the insulation in place, preventing it from shifting and ensuring even warmth distribution.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
The gilet provides good warmth for its weight, but in very cold conditions, it is best used as a layer over other warm garments, or under a more robust outer jacket.
What are the pocket features?
The gilet features two lower pockets that are secured with zippers, offering safe storage for your belongings.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels damp after exposure to rain.
The water-repellent finish is designed for light rain. For heavier downpours, layer with a waterproof outer garment. Ensure the gilet is completely dry before storing.
Insulation feels less effective than expected.
Ensure the gilet is clean, as dirt and debris can impede insulation. For very cold conditions, layer with additional warm clothing underneath.
Zipper is sticking.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth and try again.
